Keywords: scalable runtime services, scalable memory management, compiling for future architectures, improving software reliability and security

Posted on: Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
Broad Research Area: Hardware / Architecture, Programming Languages / Compilers, Software Engineering

Research Interests:

My main research focus is on developing compiler algorithms, runtime systems, and tools that enable programmers to use a high-level programming style and modern languages, and yet still achieve high performance on modern architectures. I am particularly interested in effectively using processor memory hierarchies, and in memory management.

I am very interested in future architectures and their compilers that are a better match to current and future technology limits and constraints. Explicit Dataflow Graph Execution (EDGE) is the approach we are pursuing.
